The Amanda Reed Edit
The Amanda Reed Edit is a podcast about entrepreneurship, family and marriage, faith, and the courage to edit your life so it reflects what truly matters.
Hosted by photographer, entrepreneur, and storyteller Amanda Reed, the show explores what it looks like to build a meaningful life — through business, relationships, faith, and the everyday decisions that shape who we become.
Some episodes are honest reflections on life, marriage, motherhood, and personal growth. Others feature conversations with entrepreneurs and builders who are creating businesses, families, and lives they’re proud of.
Because sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is step back, look at the life you’re living… and make the edits that bring it back into alignment with your true intentions.

Closer Than Your Phone
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We keep our phones within arm’s reach 24/7.
We panic when the battery drops, when the signal disappears, or when we miss a notification. Most of us can’t even leave the house without it.
But here’s the real question this episode asks:
Do we keep Jesus that close?
In this episode of The Amanda Reed Edit, Amanda takes an honest look at how easily we stay connected to everything in the world while drifting from the One who actually gives us peace, direction, and strength.
Using the everyday habits we all recognize — charging our phones, checking notifications, watching the signal bars — this conversation challenges us to think about our spiritual connection the same way.
Are we staying charged?
Are we paying attention when the connection gets weak?
Or have we gotten so distracted that we don’t notice the distance until we’re already in trouble?
This episode is a simple but powerful reminder to bring Jesus closer than the noise, the scrolling, and the constant notifications.
Because your phone can tell you about the emergency.
But Jesus is the One who can actually handle it.
